It provides an overview of the most important security features on each of the euro banknotes – from €5 up to €500. To check a banknote, you only need to refer to the relevant page. Most, but not all, of the security features on each of the seven banknotes are the same. The differences are described on pages 18 and 19. Some useful tips on what to do if someone tries to pay with a suspect banknote are given on page 23. Remember: always check several security features. If in doubt, compare the banknote with one that you know is genuine. OUR money SECURITY THREAD The security thread is em bedded in the banknote paper.

However, if you are handed a suspect banknote, here are some tips on how to react: ● Do not get into an argument with the customer; ● Tell him/her that you need to speak brief ly to your supervisor or a security officer, but ensure that the customer can always see the banknote, in order to avoid any complaints; ● Get your supervisor or the security officer to speak to the customer; ● Make a mental note of the customer’s appearance; ● If at all possible, do not return the banknote to the customer; ● Try to stall him/her, but do not put yourself at risk; ● If the customer tries to leave the premises, despite being asked to wait for the police, do not prevent him/her from leaving. If he or she leaves by car, make a note of his/her number plate and the car; ● Contact the police; ● Hand over the suspect banknote without delay to your supervisor or security officer for forwarding to the police; ● Do not try to be a hero – make sure you are safe at all times. Since counterfeit banknotes are completely worthless, be vigilant. It is a criminal offence to pass on a banknote which you believe or know is a counterfeit. 23 WHAT TO DO IF YOU RECEIVE A SUSPECT BANKNOTE For more information on what to do in your country, please refer to your national central bank.
